Apollo Children Hosp launches first CoE in pediatric orthopedics, trauma care in TN

Chennai, June 19 (UNI) Apollo Children's Hospital on Thursday launched Tamil Nadu's first Centre
of Excellence (CoE) in Pediatric Orthopedics and Trauma Care here.
The new facility will serve as the state's premier destination for children requiring specialized orthopedic treatment, from routine sports injuries to complex congenital conditions.
The centre brings together experienced pediatric orthopedic surgeons, trauma specialists, and rehabilitation teams under one roof at the hospital's Chennai campus.
This development marks the hospital's over 15 years of dedicated pediatric care, responding to increasing demand from families across South India seeking expert treatment for their children's
bone and joint conditions.
Chennai has been witnessing a growing number of children requiring orthopedic care each year. Paediatricians in the city are seeing increasingly complex cases, ranging from playground injuries
that demand urgent surgical attention to congenital conditions such as clubfoot and hip dysplasia.
The centre addresses this need for child-focused orthopedic care that is both quick and effective.
The team specializes in treating pediatric orthopedic conditions, including congenital and developmental disorders, limb deformities, neuromuscular issues, injuries, infections, and tumors affecting bones and joints in children. It also includes spinal deformities and abnormalities in walking.
Talking to reporters, Dr. R. Sankar, Sr. Consultant Pediatric Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon said,
launching this Centre of Excellence marks a significant step forward in pediatric musculoskeletal
care in Tamil Nadu.
"Our goal is not just to treat injuries or deformities, but to ensure that every child returns to a
life of full activity, movement, and confidence. With access to advanced surgical technologies
and a multidisciplinary team, we are equipped to handle everything from routine sports injuries
to the most complex orthopedic challenges in children”, he said.
